I am planning on putting Kontera or vibrant on a an article directory type site. Can it compete with the $/CPM of adsense on such a site do you think?

I doubt it. In order to make any money with the inlibe ads you will need to have a lot of traffic.

Why don't you use both inline ads and adsense?

Neither Kontera nor Vibrant Media nor InfoLinks can beat AdSense -- but you can use one of them in combination with AdSense to add another 10-20% to your revenue. :)

probably won't use adsense because they are superanal on gambling content and have a few other annoying clauses that keep me from using them atm.

It's better to use combination of Inline Ads and Google Adsense. I suggest that you use INFOLINKS instead of KONTERA. I have used Infolinks and Kontera earlier & evaluated them for few months. INFOLINKS pays more, Kontera sucks.

Kontera pays a very, very low CPC. Vibrant is much better, but generally doesn't show as many inline ads. Neither once can compete with Adsense, not even a fraction generally - but they do both compliment it well.

So, I've used Kontera a little, have not used Vibrant. Anyone have an opinion on one versus the other?
Cheers,

Vibrant pays better, but is more difficult to get accepted into.

Hi Captain Alexa,

I'm Jonathan from Kontera. I would recommend using Kontera with Adsense. Because their ads are displayed in different areas of your webpage, Kontera and Adsense don't compete with each other, and just add to your revenue.

Kontera's contextual technology gives you the most relevant ads which is why we can offer the best CTR, and we have an exclusive ad inventory from such of the biggest brand names in the world including Microsoft, L'Oreal, Blackberry, Volvo, Quaker, and more. These premium, often Rich-Media ads offer the best CPC and can only be found on Kontera, no other In-Text ad network has them.

Additionally we're the most advantageous place for publishers, now offering a 70% revenue share for new publishers, and a $50 bonus if those new publishers reach at least 25,000 U.S. page views during their first 30 days on the network. We also recently lowered our minimum payment threshold from $100 to $50.

If you'd like to learn more about Kontera, please feel free to contact me at jonathanc@kontera.com or alternately visit our publishers page: http://www.kontera.com/publishers
